SECRETARY OF STATE GRIFFIN may pettifog
to his hearts content, but he can not ob-
scure the fact that he has been guilty of
the grossest incompetence.
His omission of the financial statement
was an infraction of the Constitution, and
his admission of a note constituting a law
to his own liking and for his own pecuniary
benefit was a misdemeanor for which he
should be punished.
Yesterday ne had printed in the Re-
publican organ a statement of his side of
the case, which conv1cts him not only of
incompetency but of deliberate abuse of
his position. He endeavors to excuse the
omission of the financial statement by go
ing out of his way to cast utterly unwar-
ranted discredit upon the State Treasurer.
This is rank nonsense. Under the laws of
this State the Auditor of State is the
auditor of public accounts, and his report
is printed to show the condition of
the State Treasury and what should
be on hand as is the proper
theory. The Secretary of State will
find by turning to the acts hitherto printed
according to the constitutional require
ment that the financial statement as shOi0R
by the auditor, is printed with the acts. The
Auditors reports for the two years of 1885
and 1886 were in the hands of the Secretary
of State and the General Assembly the first
week of the last session.
The Secretary of State is an arrant ass.
at the conclusion of his screed he has
the monumental inpudence to say: "The
acts are printed, bound and published
Just as intended they should be, and not
letter or syllable will be changed by my
authority" He should be elected from
his Office instanter. In these acts the man
has had the brazen assurance to insert a
note putting his own construction upon
the voluntary association law-the purpose
being to obtain fees. No Secretary of State
ever before dared to exhibit such sppall-
ing impertinence. He says not syllable
will be changed, yet the fy-leaf of the acts
announces that the General Assembly was
opened on January 10, whereas January 6
was the proper date. How about that2
The Journal, as in duty bound by its party
relations, attempts nefense of the Score
tary, but does it with evident reluctance
and goes very lame. Possibly some friend
of the Secretary may yet succeed in driving
and not the Treasurer is the States book.
keeper, and that mandate of the Consti-
tuition is not to be trifed with.

EMAYoR HEWITT, of New York, is a Demo-
crat who is not afraid to recognize Ia his
appointments the men who elected him
to Office. In his announcement of hts first
important appointments he said:
'In making the above appointments the
Mayor has endeavored to look solely at
the interests of the city, without reference
to political divisions; bnt he has not con-
sidered it to be to the disadvantage of
candidate that he has been recommended
by the organizations whose nominee the
Mayor was in the late election"
This is a most refreshing manifestation
OF sound political sense. Here is man
who is doing more for the cause of reform
than any Mayor New York ever had. Yet
he finds he can do it by employing persons
recommended by the organizations whose
nominee the Mayor was In the late cleo
TONS" This is the true doctrine: and to
hear it boldly stated falls upon the ear like
a note OF the great bell at Moscow above
the cackliDg of a poultry yard. In these
days, when the trail of mugwumpery is
over the Presidential administration,
Mayor Hewitt's declaration stands out
with the effulgence of good deed in a
naughty world.
INDIANA is not only in the gas belt but
she is also in the corn belt. AS q producer
of corn she is the first State in the union. 1t
is also a fact that the committing industry,
as compared with wheat-milling, is in its
infancy, Latterly, however, there have
been indications that corn is becoming
more generally used as an article of food.
In the South it has always been staple ar
ticle for the table, but north of the Ohio
River it has not been 30 generally en-
ployed, and as a consequence there are
very few corn mills as compared with the
number OF wheat mills. Ii the con-
sumption of corn as table

night about an hour after bedtime at the
PRISON the convicts were startled from
their sleep by loud yelling. They sup
posed that another Mooney tragedy was
being enacted. but it proved to be Colonel
Bolton, who had been assigned to the cell
house as clerk. Bolton supposed that
some one was killing him and would not
cease yelling. Later he prayed in loud
voice. His keeper could not quiet him
and he was put in the hospital crank cell.
The case is exciting much sympathy at the
prison.

time, thus giving the lie to the Republican
campaign charge, so often made by the
Journal, that Mr.. Cooper would not settle.
And it appears that the Secretary of States
ofice-which is hatchery of Republican
conspiracy-has been used to prevent the
public from officially learning that the
financial books Of the State showed the
Republican campaign charge to have been
utterly false.
We again repeat that the Secretary of
State deserves impeachment for misde-
mesnor in the discharge of public trust.

THE folly of advertising for wives and
husbands in newspapers has been disas-
trously illustrated by a recent event at
Richmond, Ind. A widow advertised her
self through a Cincinnati matrimonial
bureau as having some means and DESTROYS
of companion. She soon received an
answer, and the final upshot of the matter
was that the chap, after getting some of
her money and being exposed, skipped off
for new fields of adventure.

much consideration of the equities in it
that others may have. 1t is this DISPOSE
ton that has resulted in so many estates
being swallowed up in court costs and at
torney's fees. The policy OF the New York
young woman is by all odds the wiser. She
saw that her right did not extinguish the
equity of others, and she took the shortest
and best way to fair solution. She is evil

THE Republican State Convention which
was held last week in Kentucky refused to
give the colored men of the State repre-
sentative on the ticket, although they cast
$4,000 votes. They have always been
ignored by the Republican conventions in
that State, but this year their patience has
been exhausted, and great revolt has oc-
CURED. The colored men wanted to name
a man for Register of the Land Office in
the last convention, but their request was
declined summarily. AS there are as
many colored as white men in the Repub-
lican party of that State, it is not surpris-
ing that they protest. Already many o
the most prominent colored men have de-
clared it about time to quit the Repub-
ican ranks, one of them, Rev. w. H. Ven
able, State Missionary for Kentucky, stat
ing: at is high time that the colored peo-
pie in Kentucky get out of the Republican
party" This gentleman, who has travelled
extensively over the State, says his people
begin to feel that they have only been used
as a convenience by the Republican party,
and that they realize the Democrats are just
as sircere friends, though they are not so
loud in their professions. Another said:
81 have talked with great many colored
men, and they all agree with me that II
the Republican party can get along with
out the colored man. the colored man can
get along without the Republican party"
The same complaint which the colored
men of Kentucky make against the Repub-
lican leaders of the State could be be made
by the colored men of Indiana against the
Republican leaders. They have never been
given any worthy recognition when it has
come to the distribution of offices, and
they never will be.
